Comment on Do you think the US will actually log its national parks?
Beetschnapps@lemmy.world 18 hours agoSimple if you choose to cite rando shit from centuries ago you’re not actually engaging.
It’s called low hanging fruit and apparently it’s the best you got. Take it up with the Dutch? I mean they raped the Congo… are you okay with rape? You never mentioned them in your recount of history.
Fact is the US fucking sucks because of current shit aka republicans. Blanket statements and blandly waving hands towards the past few centuries doesn’t help at all.

I haven’t got a clue what you’re trying to achieve here…other countries did bad things, I know. But we aren’t talking about those countries, so I don’t understand why you’d bring them up.
Nor have I mentioned “the past few centuries”…there’s no need.
Can you enlighten me as to what your objective is?

“Other countries don’t count. We’re taking about this country…”
How is that different from me saying: “Other shit happened hundreds of years ago (and frankly isn’t unique to the US). Why can’t you talk about now?”
One more time for the backseats… saying the US had slavery and thus we reach the end of convo is intellectually lazy and ignoring the here and now.

Genocide and slavery are happening now.
We are specifically talking about USA. You keep mentioning other countries.

Are atomic bombs being dropped now too?
